I was thinking that a lot of the old members have been here for over 5 years now, and that is a time gap that is measured a lot in peoples' lives. An interviewer may ask, 'Where do you see yourself in five years time?' for example

When I joined MW, I was half way through my Standard Grade exams (I was 15)

Since then, I did well in those exams, did well in my Highers, went into university down in Glasgow, and I am now in my third year here. And of course I met some girl called Julia, who bleeds me dry, along the way.

I remember when Mark was at uni, Laura was in second year at Oxford, etc etc.

When I joined MW I was waiting for my A Level results. Since then, I've done a history degree at Oxford with a semester in Princeton and a law degree in London. I've travelled to Ireland, France, Spain, Morocco, Cape Verde, the US, Japan and Malta (and Wimbledon!).

Can't believe I've been here for 5 and a half years! Can't believe you're in your third year Andrew! Amazing how time flies, hey?

You know what else amuses me. You were the top poster on MW when I joined.
